I've not done it, but I'm pretty sure they sell a double flight cage when just looks like two siamesed together.

I'm sure there is a way it could be done especially if they are the same type of cage and same dimensions. and would be much cheaper then buying a double flight cage.

It can be done. It just needs to be secured well with cable ties. I also had to use some wire cutters to clip off some of the ends to make it easier to put together.

I constructed this one out of four 30 inch cages.

Putting flight cages together

Thanks for the input.The only problem i would forsee is moving the cages to clean behind them.Im going to the store for cable ties.Im also going to think about securing them so when i have to clean it would make it easier to move them,thanks tom.

I put the two cages together.Once i put the cable ties on the cages,i found that it was very sturdy.Save some money and time either buying a cage or making one,tom.
